This book delves into the Cape Colony's early twentieth-century struggles to ensure farmers had access to a sufficient labor supply, primarily in its Western, Northwestern, and Midland farming districts. The author draws on evidence from select committee hearings to explore how rural labor shortages negatively impacted farming prosperity and hindered the Colony's economic growth. The author examines a range of proposed solutions, including the use of government agents to recruit and transport workers, offering financial incentives to farmers for employing native laborers, and cracking down on urban locations seen as breeding grounds for idleness. Ultimately, the book highlights the intricate social and economic factors shaping labor dynamics in colonial South Africa, offering valuable insights into the challenges of managing labor as an essential resource for agricultural development.
